UFCW Canada Local 1400 members working at Saskatoon Co-op have been forced out on strike by a greedy employer who wants to rollback the principles of the co-op movement – principles like fairness and pay equity.

Saskatoon Co-op is pushing a mean-spirited, two-tier contract that would slash full-time workers’ wages by $7,900 per year, and would prevent new workers from earning the same wages and raises as other workers doing the exact same work. It’s not equal. It’s not fair. And it’s not the co-op philosophy. Details HERE.

More importantly, it is something the workers are fighting. They have been on the picket line for a month now and are facing a Saskatoon winter.

But they need your help. The Co-op CEO could intervene, but hasn't. UFCW is asking us all, whether we live in Saskatoon or not, to go HERE and send a message in solidarity with these workers.

As with our own online actions doing this will take just a few seconds. So please, take a moment out of your busy day and go HERE to help end a strike that should never have happened.In Solidarity,
